Adriana's Acting Debut

Brazilian super model Adriana Lima will break into the fashionable world of Mode magazine when she makes her acting debut on an upcoming episode of Ugly Betty.

“Adriana has always been a huge fan of Ugly Betty and is thrilled for the opportunity to make a guest star appearance,” says Lima’s rep Liza Anderson.

On a future Betty (returning to ABC Sept. 25, 8 p.m. ET), Lima will be hired to pose on the pages of Mode’s “sizzling hot issue” and will work with Betty Suarez (America Ferrera) on a cover story about the virtues of exotic fruit, including the fictional “tico berry,” which the Vicoria’s Secret model — playing herself — will credit as a booster to her sexy appearance.

But in a twist right out of Betty’s madcap world, Lima, 27, will sport a broken finger from a real-life fall she suffered while on vacation in Croatia.

Adriana Lima Engaged!

I just had to bring you these gorgeous and glowing photos of Brazilian superstar Adriana Lima and her huge engagement ring! She looks so ridiculously happy!

She was on the red carpet with her fiance, sports star Marko Jaric, at the ESPY Awards in Los Angeles. Looking fabulous in a black mini-dress belted with black ribbon, some very high black and gold heels and accessorized with her fabulous new diamond engagement ring, Adriana also presented an award later in the evening.

Adriana Still Alive....and Signing Things.

Contrary to belief, Adriana Lima is actually still alive! She doesn't really seem to do much these days (yes we know she does the odd V.S gig and what not - we're talking mainstream campaigns, covers and editorials here) compared to her brazilian counterparts Isabeli and Gisele, but here she is at a signing of her new GQ cover at Saks Fifth Avenue in New York. Whatever she's been doing whilst hidden away has certainly improved her style, she's looking much more like her old uber-hot self and definitely worthy of her supermodel status once again!

In other Adriana news, she's still dating basketball player Marko Jaric, is often seen in the crowd at his baseball games, and he often flies across country to be with her! Cute.

Ask Men Top 99 List Revealed

Yes, it's that time of year again where american men vote for who's hot (and in some eyes rather NOT) for the upcoming year. This year's list sports a healthy set of models, not suprisingly topped by Brazil's hottest export Alessandra Ambrosio ranking at No.2, only losing out to actress Katherine Heigl. Here's a list of all the models that ranked in the Top 99 for 2008;

2. Alessandra Ambrosio
9. Marisa Miller
10. Adriana Lima
16. Gisele Bundchen
19. Miranda Kerr
20. Bar Rafaeli
25. Heidi Klum
41. Petra Nemcova
58. Kate Moss

Adriana Lima Dating Marko Jaric

Up until precisely this moment, Minnesota Timberwolves guard Marko Jaric had been known for two things: entering an NBA game with his jersey on backwards, and being on the receiving end of a vicious Kobe Bryant forearm shiver. Those two incidents will forever take a backseat to some of the best news to hit the NBA this season: Jaric is dating one of the most beautiful women in the world, Victoria’s Secret model Adriana Lima.

Understandably, his teammates are shocked. “Ever since he started dating Adriana Lima, he’s a new man,” [Mark] Madsen said, laughing. “He’s flying all over the court. He dunked! I’ve never seen him dunk.”

Picture shows Adriana attending a Timberwolves game recently to support her new boyfriend.

Angels To Act On TV

Could Adriana Lima turn out to be the mother of Ted Moseby's future children?

CBS has found a way to flog the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show and reward the cast of "How I Met Your Mother" at the same time. The network announced Monday (Oct. 29) that a sextet of Victoria's Secret models will be guest starring on the Nov. 26 episode of "How I Met Your Mother."

Heidi Klum, Miranda Kerr, Alessandra Ambrosio, Adriana Lima, Marisa Miller and Selita Ebanks will give the Monday night comedy a little end-of-sweeps sex appeal, while also helping CBS flog the Tuesday, Dec. 4 telecast of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, an event that has fallen on ratings hard times in recent installments.

In the episode, Barney is worried he might be losing his mojo until he finagles an invite to the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show after-party. Hilarity ensues. The episode will shoot later this week

Adriana Is Back!

We haven't seen much from this Brazilian wonder for a while so I thought I'd give you a quick glimpse of her working the Hollywood starlet look, with her new darkened locks, at GQ Magazine's 50th Anniversary party....

Although she's not been in the press much lately, it seems Adriana has been working hard behind the scenes. She recently shot for Vanity Fair with other Victoria's Secret Angels, and it is thought she could take a lead role as the company's 'Sexy Santa' this year, a role previously held by Alessandra Ambrosio and Gisele Bundchen. She will also film the 2007 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show on November 15th with a host of other catlwalk beauties.

In her personal life, it is believed Adriana could be dating Prince Wence of Lichtenstein again after they broke up late last year - although they were last seen together again in May this year.
